The Work of Imagination Devotional is a Lent–Easter resource for individuals or groups, offering scripture, reflections, and questions that nurture prophetic imagination throughout the season.
Theme Overview
Lent invites us to pause, turn inward, and face the questions that do not have easy answers. The Work of Imagination frames this season as a sacred practice of honesty and hope—journeying with Jesus through wilderness, confrontation, grief, and love that refuses to give up.
Rooted in prophetic imagination, this Lent–Easter devotional invites individuals and communities to reflect on scripture through the lens of justice and mercy. Rather than rushing toward resolution, each week makes space to imagine healing, practice compassion, and trust that transformation is possible even in the midst of uncertainty.
